chains required driving conditions

[Brady Moffatt]

Huw,

Were you thinking that the diameter must be kept equal on all tires? I know
I was. I guess the slip of the wheels in the snow prevents overworking of
the diffs?!

Now, if we could only get some %%)(&)(*#! snow in Montreal. It's getting
ridiculous. Tomorrow is supposed to include rain and 50F (10C in my world).
That ain't winter.

Cheers,
